BLDGBLOG is wonderful. Just browse through any of the old posts. One random example:

"a kind of retro-futurist Red Baron-era *Don Quixote* remake"

It has touches of Borges and Hofstadter, both of whom wrote monthly columns. I think there is a connection, an ability to come up with ideas quickly but too much impatience to squeeze them all into a novel. And perhaps that's for the best for people like this: too much time refining would have meant so many lost ideas.
